Thanks for your reply....

Yes, we used your method with versions prior to TSM 4.x.... but I would be
interested in knowing if you were able to use this method with the new 4.x
version.... when we tried to boot off the solaris 8 jumpstart cd, and then
run tsm 4.x, it complained about not having some solaris libraries --that
you can only get if you do a complete "end user" solaris install to disk,
but then it would seem that you must "restore over" the solaris OS, which
then produces other errors.....

That is why we are thinking about somehow installing a complete OS (not just
the jumpstart in /tmp), or using bootp.....

Would appreciate any additional input you have, -as I will also try and
update this list with our experiences as we try to find a BMR solution
(which I think is really strange, since Tivoli claims to be a complete
enterprise solution --tivoli support acutally told me there are not BMR
solaris procedures, and it is not supported!)
